I became a nurse partly because of my journey. Also, I like the smell of chlorhexidine soap, lol. That seems silly, but I've always loved that smell!

I *hate* medical drama shows, but mostly because being on the *other* side, I can't get past them dramatizing things that would never happen in real life in a hospital. I end up yelling at the TV or throwing pillows at it! I especially hate Grey's Anatomy. Once, they had the docs getting the ice bags ready for a fevered patient... And I just laughed and laughed at that, because things like that never happen in real life! Or intubated patients with one measly piece of tape holding the tube and no wrist restraints and they're as cool as a cucumber. No way! I've had maybe 5 patients in 18 years who were reliable enough to be unrestrained while on a vent!

There's absolutely nothing wrong with watching them, though, if they give YOU an outlet. ❤️
